Century Media Records and the fine lads of UK's prog metal act MONUMENTS proudly present you the first ever vinyl edition of the band's 2012 debut "Gnosis". Guitarist John Browne tells you more about ...

"The Amanuensis", MONUMENTS' sophomore album and follow up to 2012's critically acclaimed "Gnosis" is scheduled for a release on the following dates:Europe / Australia /NZ: June 23rd, 2014USA / Canada: July 8th, 2014

"The Amanuensis", at least the title, was inspired by author David Mitchell's novel, "Cloud Atlas". The complex story lines are the perfect analog for MONUMENTS. Musically, the group weave in and out of themes, motifs, and professor-like note calculations with graceful ease. But lyrically "The Amanuensis" comes from a very different place. "The album is about the Samsara cycle," reveals Browne (guitar). "The cyclical existence of life that we are all bound to."

The story of "The Amanuensis" is divided in 11 chapters whose titles read as follows:1. I, The Creator2. Origin Of Escape3. Atlas4. Horcrux5. Garden Of Sankhara6. The Alchemist7. Quasimodo8. Saga City9. Jinn10. I, The Destroyer11. Samsara

Before touring Europe right around the release of "The Amanuensis" with Protest The Hero MONUMENTS will do a quick and exclusive run with support coming from Dioramic for a handful of intimate shows throughout Germany in May.
